Flash game developer admits ripping off artistsChristopher Gregorio, small-time Flash game developer, has revealed the secret to achieving a profitable working relationship with artists: Take advantage of them and rip them off. He openly admits to trawling deviantART in search of naive artists who are unaware of the value of their work.
He's the producer of the following games which appear on a number of games sites:
Penguin Massacre
Medieval Rampage
Medieval Rampage 2
Gravity Mouse
Between the Lines
Road Rage
Cell Warfare
Mech Slayer
Blob Survival
Icy Evade
Smiley Collapse
Just in case he decides to pull the entry, here are relevant quotes:
How to find an artist:
I recommend looking through art sites such as Deviantart for an artist which suits your taste, or any other site that has a decent art community such as Newgrounds. . . . First of all, they’re cheaper. These guys aren’t used to making a lot of money for their work so they will be more

Video Game Art Gallery Comes to deviantART!
Growing up in the age of pixelated Super Mario and Atari games, it was hard to imagine that video game art would reach fine art status. However, with games like Final Fantasy, Halo, The World Ends With You, Everquest, and World of Warcraft (to name but a few) more and more artists and art enthusiasts are embracing the relevance of Video Game Art.

DeviantART is proud to present the new Video Game Art Gallery, News stream, gallery forum, and chatroom! While we're absolutely positive that our community plays video games, we are also certain that Video Game Art is becoming more popular as a study, and we have many artists currently working in this capacity, or hoping to in the near future. It is with that in mind that we have developed a gallery to showcase those amazing efforts!!!!

First, let us begin by saying this is not a new gallery to post screen shots of your badass World of Warcraft character, nor is it where you submit to show off your ABSOLUTELY am

Interzone Games Artist tells Story Behind ClosureSerious news story about the closure of my workplace, Interzone Games
At first I was quite hesitant to talk about this online, but given the amount of media coverage that’s now out there, it seems like a good time.
My workplace, Interzone Games, in Perth, Australia, is about to be liquidated by the ATO due to unpaid tax debts. Interzone Games is a game development studio, working on an MMO that was scheduled for release later this year.
Money for these taxes was meant to be sent by the parent company, Interzone Entertainment, based in the USA. Namely, the CEO, Marty Brickey, and directors (though now resigned), Greg Chadwell and Mike Turner.
The parent company has also failed to send money to pay employees salaries. They’ve been constantly late with payments, and as we currently stand, we have not been paid for the last one and a half months work. They have also failed to pay our superannuation, in my case, for about two of

The Free 3D Game Art ToolboxIt is a common assumption that creating 3D game art requires an assortment of expensive programs to create with; but there are numerous alternatives that are completely free. When used in conjunction with each other, they can produce work of equal quality to the more commonly used commercial packages. Keep in mind that tools and artists are two separate things.
I write this article so that none of you have any excuse not to submit kick-ass 3D game art to the Game Development Art gallery. Maybe you'll learn some useful skills, too.
Before we start, I would like to clarify some things:

This is not a list of every free program that can be used to create 3D game art.

Art created with these programs is BY NO MEANS automatically appropriate to submit to the Game Development Art gallery. "Whaaaat", you say?
Some of these programs contain functionality far beyond what is used in games, and much of what separates 3D game art from standard 3D

Building a CharacterToday I'll discuss how to construct a believable character. I won't offer guidelines on what I personally think is awesome! But I'll offer what I've learned on how to semi-easily create a character.

First of all, the steps!

1. Description
2. Visual References
3. Rough Sketches
4. Decision
5. Exercise Sketches
6. Final Drawings
-----------------------------------
Now for better evaluation!

Description

When you build your character, build them from the inside out! Personality will define the look!
Do not make them perfect, people in real life who are perfect are hard to approach! Like I said before, try to make them imperfect! Error defines us.
For example, when you meet someone, if they are overly confident, you'll remember them! If they simply agree and nod, they'll be disregarded in your mind quite quickly.

Starting from the core. Your character's personality!

Go through a list of ideas.
Are they sociable? Or are they independant?
Are they stron

Game Art Interview - Josh HarveyHello, everyone! Recently, with help from the community, I'd worked together some questions that you guys would like to see answered by a professional game artist. Without further ado, our first victim, certainly professional and certainly a great game artist, !jeh241!

1. Before we get into specifics, enlighten us a bit on who you are and what exactly you do in the field of game art. (:
My name is Josh Harvey, I’m a 3d artist and art manager working for Liquid Development. Liquid Development is an outsourcing company, so when a developer needs extra artwork done or whatever, but they don’t have the manpower to do it themselves they’ll outsource to a company like ours. I mainly do environmental props, but I also manage projects from time to time and have done some character work and level building. I’ve been working at Liquid Development for about 3 years.
2. What was your greatest influence in deciding

The Okami Community Scroll Project!Greeting to all the wandering artists out there!
I call out to all the deity's, to all the ones with goodness in their hearts, to whom may stumble upon this trading post or the ones who watch from far and wide, all are welcome in this celebration!
I propose we unite and contribute to the great scroll, to lay down our ideals for generations to remember the great Amaterasu, who's adventures that once cleansed this great land of the darkness, all shall remember!
The Scroll is Growing, this is what we've done so far:
http://gavade.deviantart.com/art/The-Okami-Community-Scroll-118440905
This project is mainly designed for the Okami fans, but anyone is welcome to participate....
I want to start a project where we can all contribute our art, work together in creating a huge scroll where each artist adds to the ever growing width and size, each depicting a scene or character inspired from Okami........
This is the beginning of the scroll, with each artist adding their art next to mine and so f

Welcome to gameDEV: Development for Deviants! This is the first of several articles that will be discussing common topics that arrive when developing your own game. I'll be giving my opinion from my five years of experience in developing an MMORPG. I'll try my best to cover as many bases as possible. So, without further adieu, let us begin Issue 1!
Deciding to make your own game
Maybe you are bored. Or maybe you thought of an improvement to a game that was always made. Or perhaps you've been at school for years and want to do something with what you have learned. No matter where you're coming

Fantasy Earth Zero Contest - the unsung heroesThe Fantasy Earth Zero contest is over and the finalists are on the run for the big prize, but that doesn't mean there isn't lots of other great art to be appreciated! This is a selection of works submitted to the contest that I felt deserve a little spotlight.
NOTE: This feature has NOTHING to do with the http://news.deviantart.com/article/121296/ (official selection of finalists), nor it is meant to compete with it in any way. It's simply a showcase of some of the works submitted into the contest, mine included, that could use some more visibility.

Enjoy!

How to Video Game...and hopefully make money.There's been a massive influx of casual developers looking to make their own games, which is GREAT! This is a post for people pretty new to this who want to break into their own indie company.
That's great! Hopefully the more people who get into the idea, the more attention will be brought to indie work.
The first thing to understand about video game development:
They're extremely hit and miss. I'm sure you've wondered why a game you thought was horrible made so much money, while a game you thought was amazing has a bankrupt company. Games take up several parts, and the worth is not equivalent to the best piece, but to the worst piece in the game. In addition to that, it's a mix of when it comes out, the right price, your target audience and the places and ways you market.
The basics:
1) Simple games that look good are ALWAYS much harder than they appear. To make even a simple game, you have to break down the finished product into its individual parts. To a new game maker, it's&

Tickling Flash Game Test Production

by *CToon, Jul 21, 2009, 4:54:06 PM
Journals / Art News / Video Game Art

I'm starting this column as a news, since there seems to be only so many individuals creating flash games of specific features for people that are yet quite interested to see games of that particular nature - tickling games - more specifically : flash based tickling games.

All in good fun. (...and hopefully profit, someday)

I'm one of those people who would like to see more of these type of games to either hit the market or just simply be available.

Having said that, I have started a experimental project regarding this very matter and my goal is to create, with the aid of this community,
a variety of tickling games which would, if successful, fill this void
(or at least touch some part of it).

You are more that welcome to visit at site, to check on the progress,
to leave comment or a crit, or to give your idea and input of the tickling flash game of your dreams.

Here is the link to the first test-demo out of one example game:

This is like Tickle Me Elmo for grown-ups. I'm very interested in learning more about this kind of art. Any suggestions or software for those like me who can't draw but enjoy tickling women and want to see and make tickling 3-D animation?

~pitydafoo54 Mar 4, 2011

wat is the software you used to make this?

~moonlightfanatic Dec 14, 2009 Hobbyist Filmographer

i think that there should be some nipple and genital tickling, as well as all the other places other than feet...

!DeathByYellow Feb 17, 2010

I agree

~Lonestar327 Nov 16, 2009

How soon is yoru sleepy soles games ready, I really want to play the full version of it

~MandrakeMoorglade Oct 25, 2009

Make sure you include nylon foot tickling and tortuous and teasing shoe removal.

!sheofar Sep 27, 2009

How about a full scale invasion of earth?.You could play as either alien or human.have bios for all the characters,who are a good variety of ages,gender and race.

~mak14 Sep 4, 2009

Have one where you can tickle a guy...

~ZhaneAugustine Aug 14, 2009 Hobbyist Writer

some thing cute and innocent might be fun like a pillow fight with the lee, where if you win you get to tickle her or him, and if you lose a secene where they tickle you

*CToon Aug 17, 2009 Professional Digital Artist

Interesting idea: "a scene where they tickle you" !
Very nice!
